JAKARTA (Nov 2): Indonesia exported 19 million metric tons of crude and refined palm oil in the January to September period, up 8.1% from the same period a year earlier, statistics bureau data showed on Monday.

The shipments were valued at US$21.07 billion (RM85.75 billion), up 16.14% from the first nine months of 2025 due to higher prices.

In September, Indonesia exported 2.87 million tons of crude and refined palm oil, worth US$3.31 billion, statistics bureau official Ateng Hartono said.

The bureau's data excludes palm kernel oil, oleochemicals and biodiesel. GAPKI, Indonesia's palm oil association, usually releases its own numbers at a later date, covering more products, and thus has different export figures.
